Re: [Wxformbuilder-devel] SourceForge

[Patrick G. <pa...@pa...>]

Considering Vadim Zeitlin's response to the last time someone tried to
post a patch for wxFB to the wx-users mailing list [1],
I'd say that with the current state of wxFB there is little chance to
get it in the wxWidgets organization.

No one seems to know, who is currently developing wxFB and considering
the complete lack of response and overall activity
here I'm not sure, if anyone is currently considering him-/herself the
maintainer of wxFB.

Of course, it would certainly do no harm to ask on wx-dev whether
there's any interest in merging wxFB into the wxWidgets organization.
If not, there should just be a wxFormBuilder organization and a single
wxFormBuilder respository in it, for now.

I'll try and contact the wxFB admins, maybe they aren't even subscribed
to this list...
